The LOVE gap

[MrSCSkater]

how big is the gap compared to a stair set?

[aZombieXB360]

Metro skate love park 2 months ago.

[thund3rknows]

@astrobub dam

[thund3rknows]

can u still get away wit skating it still?

[astrobub]

@thund3rknows Its filled with water

[Slimeflu13]

Love Park was my favorite place to skate.Everything is right there/City hall across the street.U can skate all around and find spots.They fucked up closing it down.

[chrismogot]

cole killed the love gap and the wallenberg. next month: el toro

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

this is a sick skate spot in THPG.

[shawndesmann]

how long you have to jump that gap? meters??

[DCMskate]

the guy talking in the beginning looks like johnny knoxville

[svetturban]

@DCMskate that guy is josh kalis, on the sickest street skaters out there! look him up.

[shipmaker14]

Even if they didn't shut it down... Kerry Getz probably would've Freaked Out and beat the shit out of the fountain and destroyed any way!

[WeavExpress]

Twitter. @Weav_Express

[MrQball1995]

da last pro looked like he waz boutta cry ovr it being destroyed

[seanobeirne1]

really? who the fuck cares what there wearing, focus on the skating not the clothing.

[HellRazor323]

i hate how back then skaters youse to wear baggy ass jeans

[Reinscorpion]

@HellRazor323 baggy pants ftw :P

[MarkBlair2014]

"in a leather jacket"

[pdkillz]

@TylerWilliams1851 you're dumb as fuck lad, saying it's not as big, and listing tricks done is comparing them you spastic cunt.

you're a fucking idiot, neck yourself

[pdkillz]

@TylerWilliams1851 why compare them, who cares is all i said, you're a gimp.

nuff said

[sudzcityskatez]

if love is dead then how did tom asta switch heel it?

[pdkillz]

@sudzcityskatez city emptied the fountain, thats why there are a few cunts enders in it. i'm pretty sure one or two people skate it in since day one

[pdkillz]

@TylerWilliams1851 who gives a fuck, place is legit

[TyWillett]

R.I.P. LOVE GAP

[Lostfins]

The East Coast equivalent to El Toro

[reassessment]

it's still there, since this video it was back 3ed by chris cole, switch fliped by ishod wair, switch heeled and switch fs heeled by tom asta, bs bigspined by ian smith and tred by eric kunmann.

[MYKEGREGORY]

is it houses now or something?

[TheBrandonKnapp]

@MYKEGREGORY still there i was there a few moths ago, apparently the security there is tight now though

[Jarmaggeddon]

illegally if need be

[Jarmaggeddon]

thrasher should bust or bail at the love fountain... whos with me?

[x270filmsx]

8 people have no right to live on this planet how can u dislike that video

[sk8erboy3682]

i was at love today its still there

[nevertextnever]

@sk8erboy3682 they didnt actually "get rid of love" they made altercations to it so its totally unskatable and put like maximum security on it

[solavAseliM]

bad quality but sick vid!

[RealDeal770]

Cleanest switch Ollie ever.

[johnfernescool]

[XxBiophobiaxX]

[NiceRiding]

why do people need these epic gaps like love or carlsmard or hollywood high? there are millions on gaps all over the planet you should go and discover the new ones. stop crying for something that is already gone.

[lukeskates13]

Everyone who lives in philly knows that there is still the footage of two ridiculous tricks by two different dudes down love that have yet to be released

[skatejse]

@mclovinthe0ven dude true dat but i hate to break it to you they tore down wallenberg like a year ago

[finalflaredge]

it was my dream as a skater to grow up and skate the love gap i hate public safety and all those idiots who shut it down rip love

[Mr360flip610]

Love is still there, i skate it in the summer its still fine

[thefriend123123]

[sk8legendz]

I wish I could skate dat...dam man I wish I could just teleport or fly so I could go to all the spots before ignorant people shut em down

[avengedpenis]

[rajman12345]

[iLoveLedges]

you can still skate the gap

[jc199613]

Rip LOVE

[sk8gabe]

You also forgot the brooklen banks.

[lilieisbeastie]

@sk8gabeA. they turned the brooklyn banks into a skate park, so its basically gone when five year olds with wall mart boards go and skate it

B. The Brooklynn Banks isnt a gap, its a skate spot.

[sk8gabe]

@mcclovinthe0ven Dude you forgot hubba hideout, it not gone but its all messed up, I've always wanted to try the love gap :\ R.I.P LOVE Gap

[mclovinthe0ven]

LOVE gap-gone

carlsbad-gone

el toro-almost gone

wallenberg-still alive

i dont know about anyone else but im fucking tired of all these epic gaps getting shut down before i even get to try and skate them...i think we should all make sure wllenberg lives forever!!!!!

[Googleman33]

@mclovinthe0ven yeah i agree, but last i heard they tore wallenburg down for renovations?? idk might be a rumor

[mclovinthe0ven]

@Googleman33 whatttt!?!?!?! nooo i didnt heard anything about that

[jakelikeesskateboard]

@Googleman33 not a rumor

[mexicanjoe666]

@Googleman33 nah wallenburg is torn down ):

[HippyMayonaise]

@Googleman33 yeah I heard that to

[crazy4lamas]

@Googleman33  na wallenberg is torn up

[shreddtube2]

@Googleman33 wallenberg is down it was taken dowen in may 2009

[pigssuck23]

@Googleman33 wallenbergs still up, carlsbad is still up but fenced off, love is still up but you have to skate it in the winter, and el torro is up but no one wants to skate it

[noremacsirref]

@Googleman33 naw wallenberg gone man, they tore it out last year to extend the school, and isnt carlsbad still there? i thought they just fixed a couple things tht made it so hard to land tricks there

[619FansRule]

@Googleman33 they did tear it down

[crailtap95]

@Googleman33 Yup, it got torn down.

[Nickalapolis]

@Googleman33 its not

[Nickalapolis]

@Googleman33 its not a rumor, its true

[clanton7]

@mclovinthe0ven i know its not a gap but your forgetting the barcalonas benches gone :(

[skatcrazdude]

@mclovinthe0ven the love gaps not gone? tomasta just switch heeled it. Carlsbad might be going for renovations as well as wallenberg. but el toro should be staying.

[Treflip134]

@mclovinthe0ven you know what i feel the same way

[seanny674]

@mclovinthe0ven since when is carlsbad gone

[mclovinthe0ven]

@seanny674 for a long time

[volcom937]

@mclovinthe0ven wallenburgs going down. i think love is still there

[OsmanExpress]

@mclovinthe0ven carlsbad is gone???? and i thought they only took the middle rail of el toro but skaters still use the side ones

[sponcerable]

@mclovinthe0ven brooklyn banks almost gone :(

[keith644]

@mclovinthe0ven thats what i was thinking el toro is still skate able use the side hand rail

[SkateGameSerious]

@mclovinthe0ven love gap is still sorta alive ibet the only reason skaters arent skating it because theres water in the foutain

[sk8legendz]

@mclovinthe0ven wait just one muthaphuckin second!!! Carlsbad gap is gone??!!! Ima truck smack a muthaphucka they takin away our spots!!!

[brower206]

@mclovinthe0ven love i sstill skateable

[GoSk8the718]

@mclovinthe0ven There's this 6 block that's in New York where the globe is and it's near the Maloof skatepark. Everyone just skates the hubba there but the extended 6 itself is a mother of a gap. I've seen Shane O Neil ollie it in person once and a guy kickflip it on a Maloof Money Cup commercial too but that's it. My point it that that's a bigass stairset AND it's in Queens New York yet it doesn't get the credit it deserves. I'm gonna try to ollie it tomorrow so yeah...

[bryceskatesinaz]

@mclovinthe0ven Love gap is still there its just under high security

[KalaniThames]

@mclovinthe0ven actually wallenburg is getting torn down it hasnt already

[Tnels125]

@mclovinthe0ven wallen berg is gone love is still there they drain it every winter

[steeleo615]

@mclovinthe0ven el toro isnt almost gone...

[crichElDiablo666]

@mclovinthe0ven love gap isn't gone man. 2 tricks just went down last weekend

[fosterjordan18]

@mclovinthe0ven wallenberg-dead!

[mrblibrules]

@mclovinthe0ven wot happaned too eltoro and carlsbad

[noremacsirref]

@mrblibrules i dont kno wat happened to el toro but i heard tht they fixed a few things tht made it so hard to land tricks like the i heard they fixed the crack just before the gap and how the gap is bigger on one side and smaller on the other, dont take my word for this tho this is just stuff i heard from a couple buddies of mine and even they werent 100% on it

[jwalkstheearth]

@mclovinthe0ven Brooklyn Banks gone 

[plainoldstickfight]

@mclovinthe0ven love gap isnt gone

[lorokoro5]

@mclovinthe0ven carlsbad isnt gone yet 

[mxboarder222]

loves not "gone" look at the vid posted yesterday

[plainoldstickfight]

@mclovinthe0ven love gap isnt gone ull just get areested if u skate it

[GKSkating]

@mclovinthe0ven yeah they tore wallenberg down

[xtam092]

@mclovinthe0ven it's true its sad that these gaps are dissapearing, but i think it's cooler to watch some international vids i.e from australia or europe coz there are gaps/ spots which are rarely featured in skate vids.

But yeah, relics of skate history gone =/ sucks the balls

[Cawguy213]

@mclovinthe0ven dont forget the brooklyn banks and the hubba hideout =(

[snackeye12]

@mclovinthe0ven you can still skate love, on a cold day when the securty gaurds are to cold to come out. I dont know how long u will be shreding for but i skated the ledges for a solid hour before

[seanbrooker78]

@mclovinthe0ven wallenberg got torn down dued, or there going to :(

[sergio300098]

@mclovinthe0ven i think actually wallenberg is gone and carlsbad is still alive

[pared1986]

@mclovinthe0ven hubba hideout was recently bulldozed too -__-. So, which is the purpose of the big companies and X people earning money  through skateboarding, if all these legendary spots are not going to be protected as they deserve?

[KahuniTv]

@mclovinthe0ven why is el toro almost gone ? :C

[jessesetsfire]

@mclovinthe0ven love gaps not gone. . .

[MrSkimturtle]

@jessesetsfire yeah it is

[jessesetsfire]

@MrSkimturtle nah dude we were skatin it a week ago lol

[MrSkimturtle]

@jessesetsfire haha forreal? my bad dude i thought it was just gone

[jessesetsfire]

@MrSkimturtle yea lol its still there idk why they keep saying its "gone" lol

[ultimatevie]

@jessesetsfire tom asta skated it in his color theory part

[MrBOSSMANPRODUCTIONS]

@mclovinthe0ven love aint gone watch the end of tom asta color theory

[er88skate]

LOVE = the Wallenburg of the East coast.

[WinstonSkater]

[toriisjr]

[ConfuzedCoconut]

@toriisjr just shut up

[666XXXDMCXXX666]

i wish people were like this for wallenberg, i mean hell, LOVE is still there, just shut down, the berg is GONE! remodled last month, whole school had to be remodled to be handicap accesable, they started in april, the set went down first, they finish the whole school in the fall. No this isnt some "friend of a friend" rumor, look up wallenberg high remodeled and if you look long enough you can read about it in the san fran newspaper, i'd post the link but youtube is a bitch about it.

[skateboardguyLS]

@666XXXDMCXXX666 did u happen to see any of the wallenberg competitions lol especially the last one

[xViper18x]

[pigssuck23]

[shreder187]

@jrose152 no

[jrose152]

@shreder187 yeah your right he did sw heel it for the mystery add, but im pretty sure after that he sw front heeled it for a video

[jlosmom]

[streetsk8er246]

[pandacrunch]
